How Electrical Projects Work
A transparent, stage-by-stage electrical project process
From first enquiry through to handover, each stage exists to confirm suitability, safety, and scope before moving to the next.
Eight Stages
What happens at each stage of an electrical project
Stage 1Submit Electrical Requirement
You provide
A description of what you need, your property type, and contact details.
We review
The initial requirement against the relevant service pillar.
What gets confirmed
That the enquiry has been received and understood correctly.
Why it matters
A clear starting point avoids wasted time later in the process.
Stage 2Review Property Type
You provide
Property type (domestic, landlord, or commercial) and location.
We review
How the property type affects access, timing, and likely requirements.
What gets confirmed
Which considerations apply to your specific property.
Why it matters
Domestic, rental, and commercial properties all have different needs.
Stage 3Survey Where Needed
You provide
Access to the property, or photos/details if a physical visit isn’t yet required.
We review
Existing electrical condition, capacity, and installation feasibility.
What gets confirmed
Whether a survey is required before a scope of work can be set.
Why it matters
Some enquiries can’t be scoped accurately without seeing the property.
Stage 4Confirm Specification
You provide
Preferences on products, timing, and any specific requirements.
We review
Product suitability against the property and requirement.
What gets confirmed
What is being installed or upgraded, in practical terms.
Why it matters
A clear specification avoids misunderstandings about what’s included.
Stage 5Agree Scope
You provide
Sign-off on the confirmed specification and any outstanding questions.
We review
The full scope against access, safety considerations, and timeframe.
What gets confirmed
The agreed scope of work before anything is carried out.
Why it matters
Work only proceeds once both sides have agreed what is included.
Stage 6Carry Out Installation
You provide
Access on the agreed date(s) and any final confirmations needed.
We review
Progress against the agreed scope throughout the visit.
What gets confirmed
That work is carried out in line with the agreed scope.
Why it matters
Work should be carried out in line with applicable electrical safety requirements and relevant building/property obligations.
Stage 7Test / Certify Where Applicable
You provide
Access for any required testing following installation.
We review
The completed work against the applicable testing requirement.
What gets confirmed
Testing and certification are provided where applicable to the agreed work.
Why it matters
Testing and certification exist to confirm the work meets what was agreed and applicable requirements.
Stage 8Handover
You provide
Final sign-off and confirmation of completion.
We review
The finished work and any documentation to be provided.
What gets confirmed
Completion of the agreed scope, with relevant documentation where applicable.
Why it matters
A clear handover gives you confidence the agreed work has been completed.
Transparency
What every stage is reviewed against
These considerations run through every stage of the process, from first enquiry to handover.
Survey needs
Some enquiries require a survey to confirm feasibility before scope is agreed.
Agreed scope
Work only proceeds once the scope has been confirmed and agreed.
Product suitability
Product choice is confirmed individually based on the property and requirement.
Testing & certification
Testing and certification are provided where applicable to the agreed work.
Third-party product terms
Warranties, grants, and manufacturer terms are confirmed separately where relevant.
Network operator considerations
Any relevant network or operator requirements are confirmed separately where applicable.
Specialist advice where required
Specialist engineering, planning, legal, or regulatory advice should be obtained where required.
